Based upon the Model S, the Model X will be a bit more utilitarian, but also more expensive. The Model X with its bigger body and taller ride height should put its asking price above that of the $63,570 Model S.

Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s chief designer, confirmed to German car site Audibild that the Model X is almost ready and should be unveiled in mid-2014.

Tesla isn’t stopping there, though. It also has plans to unveil its all-new entry-level sedan, tentatively named the Model E, at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Although it will be priced just under $40,000, Tesla hopes its smaller sedan will compete with the Nissan LEAF, which starts at $29,650. Expect the Model E to pack a 200-mile range battery pack, which will make the LEAF’s 75-mile range look laughable.

Reportedly, Tesla will be giving its Model E distinctive bodylines, as it is keen to keep it separate from the Model S, at least at a glance.

We’ll likely be learning more about both the Model X and the Model E very soon. So be sure to check back for more.
